I learned a few things at the NoWisco tournament this past weekend. 1. Five hours goes pretty quickly... ...when you’re listening to a bopping playlist of songs queued in really random order (Moana, Bon Iver, Taylor Swift…). I really enjoyed getting to know my car more (as the only rookie in a car full of seniors) and learned that they’re super chill and have similar music tastes. 2. Ultimate during the rain is…just as fun. The tournament started out with four games on a rainy Saturday. Despite the mud and the chill, we kept the energy up throughout the whole day. We focused on the basics and clap catch clap catch c l a p c a t c h During the last game of the day, the rookies (plus Stevie) took the field, soaked but hyped, for a final rookie point. It was a great end to the day as we put into practice everything we’d learned over the last few games. 10/10 would play in the rain again. 3. Defense is a thing They told me that I'd figure out a lot of stuff during a tournament. This is true; somewhere along the way, a flip switched in my head and defense started making sense. As a whole, I think our whole team did a great job with this and the rookies especially made a lot of progress. 4. By NoWisco Time™, Ultimate starts seeping into most parts of your life… Between throwing on the Pentacrest almost every day, and slipping the word ‘ultimately’ into essays every chance I get, this sport has won me over much more than I expected, and I’m glad it did.
